Time 50m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces semisweet chocolate
6 eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon espresso powder, dissolved in
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups heavy cream
raspberry preserves
apricot preserves
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon cocoa, nibs (optional)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 10 1/2 x 15 1/2-inch jellyroll pan with parchment and spray with nonstick vegetable spray.
In a dry bowl, melt chocolate over barely simmering water. Whisk the eggs and sugar until they hold a ribbon shape for 2 seconds. Whisk in the Coffee mixture. Sift, then fold in the cocoa. Fold in the melted chocolate. Spread in the prepared pan and bake for 9 minutes until set. Let cool.
Meanwhile, make the filling. Sift the cocoa and confectioners' sugar into the cream and whip to the consistency of shaving cream. Divide the sheet cake in half. Lightly spread one layer with apricot preserves. Spread on the whipped cream. Lightly spread the other half with raspberry preserves and flip on top of the whipped cream. Refrigerate.
Make the Ganache: Put the chocolate in a small bowl. Over medium heat, bring the cream to a scald. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Working from the center out, gently stir with a whisk to melt and blend. Continue stirring until smooth. Stir in the nibs, if using. Pour over the cake. Allow cake to chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, until chocolate is set.

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 eggs, separated
3 tablespoons caster (superfine) sugar
1 ounce dark chocolate, grated
2 tablespoons plain (all-purpose) flour
Apricot jam
1 ounce cocoa powder
Vanilla essence
6 ounces double cream, stiffly whipped for the chocolate icing
6 ounces dark chocolate
1 ounce unsalted butter

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line and grease a 1 1/2 pound loaf pan.
Cream together the egg yolks and sugar. Whisk the egg whites until very stiff. Add the grated chocolate and flour to the yolk mixture, then fold in the whites. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn out and cool on a rack. When cold, slice in half lengthways through the middle.
Spread both halves of cake with jam on the cut sides.
For the filling, mix together the cocoa powder, vanilla essence to taste, and whipped cream; spread evenly over one half on top of the jam.
Make the icing by melting the chocolate with the butter. Allow to cool slightly, then spread over the jam on the other half. Put the two strips together so that the icing and filling are together in the middle, with the iced strip on top, and chill slightly before slicing to serve.
